New one to me... I'm not sure what words I'd use to describe the trunk of this tree.

And a brief page with several interesting photo thumbnails...

I'm curious if anyone has acquired one of these in an area like California or Arizona.
Up in the kimberley area of western australia we have the Boab, Adansonia Gregorii.Recently a bush 1000 ha block was cleared and about 200 boabs were transplanted into town.Some with dbh of 1800mm mostly smaller,unfortunaly most we're damaged in transport due to being laid on their sides on semi trailers
